Doesn't DC own the land that RFK is on? I might be wrong but if they or the federal gov't own it it definitely wouldn't be a moot point. And RFK is like the only spot in DC big enough for a stadium.
That is correct. Somehow I think that's where it will end up. At this point there is no other place in the DC area to put a stadium.

The new stadium is going to be in Va unless the mood changes in he next 5-7 years. The state made a huge push to get training camp and even kicked money in from the state General fund.
DC will want it but the cost is going to be prohibitive unless Danny can finagle a deal to sell FedEx for a mint and just pay for the the land and building himself. Also DC is not likely to sell the RFK site to him I wouldn't think. That's really the only viable site in DC proper.
Maryland seems out of it. No decent options with proper metro access and they don't seem terribly keen, at least publicly. They have the luxury of already having a team in state so losing one wouldn't be catastrophic.
Of course all of this is the situation now. It could all change in just a few years so we'll see.

I still think Snyder wants the team in DC and that's his first option. Once the name issue dies down (which it will IMO) and if the team continues to be successful, I think DC politicians will balk.

I think so too. Just have a hard time seeing DC selling him the RFK site and it's even harder for me to see Danny building a stadium he doesn't own.

they'd use it for concerts and college games i'd guess. it's kind of a terrible site cause of the parking and lack of proper roads (for the traffic it causes). not being covered is also an issue for some of the people that'd want to rent it too i imagine.

What colleges? Maryland has their own place as does Navy. My thought is Dan has to figure some way of getting some cash out of it becuase that is a big piece of the value of this team .I doubt he can build a new one without selling the old one unless he builds a new one where Fed Ex is now,it already has the infrastructure.
